Butler - Lowestoft Road, Hopton On Sea, Norfolk NR31 9ES August 1995 2
This lovely little petrol station lasted as just a garage into the Streetview era for a few years before it was demolished to make way for new housing. The 2009 Streetview shows it as Sawyers offering MOT's, servicing and repairs. There's a big gap in the Streetview from 2009 to 2019 but sometime in that period the garage went, I suspect earlier on.
Dan Lockton has a photo of this garage from 1995 when it was still branded Little David, so I would suggest his photo was taken just a few months before the branding was changed to Butler. The images I have of it when Little David are from a couple of years earlier on.
Probably the most noteworthy aspect of this garage is the canopy which has a largely clear roof and castellated beams supporting it, a relatively unusual design to see.
Below I've added Dan's image and another of mine when it was branded Little David.
